For the portfolio at the end of this chapter I took an empathy test even though I do not believe in them or feel that it is right to measure people according to a number that you get on a test. But, I ended up getting a 74 out of 80, which is actually way above average. This really didn't show me anything because I already knew that I was really empathetic. I think that this is just because I have gone through a lot of hard things in my life already and can relate to others when they are having a problem because I have already experienced it or experienced something like it. It feels unnatural to me when I am not empathetic towards people. I used to be greatly affected by others and their mood and their situation, but now I just empathize with them instead of taking it on myself to deal with their problems in life.
